Good point, and I was informed from my LBS that Shimano doesn’t play well with mix and match rings due to the chain pickups not being optimal for the odd ring sizes. Although I run Campy 50-36 and works like clockwork, but this is also less teeth change. The rotor answer from Doug, maybe why they can get away with it????
You spun that crank on what I assume was very expensive ceramic bearings, it rotated like 6 times . My question is , how can that much drag be better than the old square taper bottom brackets that spun forever ? Thanks , always enjoy the show
Love it! Questions Jon: 1. What else makes the Conti Comp tubular pro ltd apart from latex inner tubes ? (Compared to the non-pro versions I ride) 2. I could see the real wheel was “ unbalanced” when you spun it. Do pros not “balance” their wheels? How many watts are being wasted? 3. Why ddnt he have a junctuon box as a handlebar plug- so much cleaner? 4. Sunny Spain, but next time can you film somewhere nicer than next to a derelict plot?!
What was all that tap near the rear valve. Also I have found with tubulars, if you don’t secure the valve stem with tape the whole tyre can rotate on the rim under hot conditions associated with heavy braking in the mountains. Allowing the valve to move and not sit straight. Eventually damaging the valve tube interface. Also these special rings and tyres available to the pros, I thought it was UCI rules you can’t use equipment indefinitely if not made available to the public in a set time? Guys can you explain this? Cheers
it seems you, Jon, have seen so many cartoons when you were a kid (meaning few years ago) because i really have a feeling i'm looking at that while watching ya :-)))
Hey GCN Tech! Question: I have easton ec90 stem and aero bars. There is no room for a standard k edge mount to the side of the stem. What should I do to get my wahoo and go pro on there?
Question. Why do people love loud freewheel noise. Personally I love a quiet noise because it gives me a perception that the freewheel has less resistance.
It generally means you have paid more for the wheels so sounds impressive. Also if you can pass someone while not pedaling it is more demoralising to the other person. I'm saving up.
Carbon wheels. If you maintain a mechanical groupset, it will work just as good as electronic. Electronic shifting is more of a convenience rather than a performance upgrade.
All that beauty and then too-long valve stem extenders that put the anti-click wrapping past where it does any good, so they need electrical tape. Plus, it unbalances the wheel. Hack or bodge? Bodge! ;)
Can somebody please ask John to cease and desist with the spinning of the rear wheel by the spokes! Every time my cringe gets worse, it might become permanent.
Strangest bike I've seen so far from the pro peloton. 15 cm stem with almost no negative angle. Spacers (ugly as hell). 56 frame. Odd seat post. Lever position. Gear relation. Color. This is very odd and unpleasant.
Maybe because the body being more aero makes more difference than the bar being unwrapped? I suspect the tops are wrapped for either sitting up to climb (lots in the Vuelta) or for leaning his forearms on when drilling it in a break... sweat and sunscreen make for a slippery combination.
Let us know what you think of Cummings' Cervelo, Nice or Super Nice? 👇
At the very least, that freehub music is Super Nice!
Super, super, super nice 😎
Amazing machine, wonder how much this one is worth? :)
GCN Tech ring the bell !
#GCN I have to say it. This bike is just ugly!
What a beautiful seatpost!!!
That hub sound tease was cruel in the middle there.
Very nice Jon👍🇦🇺
53/36 does this not cause some FD change issues? I thought this was not recommended by Shimano
Good question, it's likely not going to shift quite as smoothly, but should work ok. 👍
Is it the front mech that takes issue? Curious because it's a rotor chainset so perhaps it works fine for them?

It's 2018, come on Cervelo, integrate that Di2 junction box already...love the bike.
Nice Machine!!
That Cervelo is so sexy and super nice...
I love it!
John “Grubby Little Hands” Cannings
I focking love Chris kings!!!
can we get a complication of all of the freehub sound tests?
*compilation. and i second that. it'd be great to do a little compare/contrast.

I am guessing the rear derailleur is mid-cage Di2? Looks pretty big and I imagine that's why he can run that cassette.
'What's a wet backside???' Classic. Thanks Jon!
Why? - a bus tour and a bike tour posted at the same time- it was a tough decision but obviously I piked the bike
Nice for sure , lucky lad indeed

It's just to stop the valve moving around inside the rim and causing a tapping noise.
sumo89 I know that as I ride tubulars almost exclusively, but if you watch the vid carefully they have put tape across the rim too, which is strange
Does anybody knows what would be the sea post torque I am talking about the two screws that hold the seat please? Thanks
great review...too bad i can't afford anything like this. But hey..i got the cervelo r2 2018 which is pretty good in my opinion...
6'3 on a 56 seems very odd. I'm 6'2 on a 61 i could go down to a 58 maybe, but 56 no way.

You can buy mounts that go on the Stem bolts
stop telling people to ride same size bikes as the pros, other than that really nice bike
why not, if you are fit, going a size down can be a good idea.
Funny though, he's using a smaller size frame, but some spacer between stem and head tube. Br00tal.
pretty sure there are other reasons to use a smaller size frame other than just the ability to drop your handlebars lower.
To small of a frame i definitely would not go with a 56 cm id go 58 cm or 60 cm
@ Michael Upchurch You would "definitely" go with a 58...or a 60? Sound like you made your mind up. They are fitted, he's probably comfortable.
@@ska042 he has few spacers under the stem funnily enough
its a 14.5 custom stem, that makes up for the size difference.
Never heard of these in my life alot of bikes out there Never heard of
Chris King and Freehubs. Name a more iconic duo, I'll wait.
3:04, so close to the bar.....not too sure I can’t see.
Hey GCN
Hey Hugues! 🖐

Ultegra cassette wow!
#askgcntech what would be better to upgrade light weight carbon wheels vs electronic group set
Carbon wheels. If you maintain a mechanical groupset, it will work just as good as electronic. Electronic shifting is more of a convenience rather than a performance upgrade.
Hes a meter ninety tall?
That seatpost shape gives me the creeps. It looks really fragine on the top end.
I like everything but the seat post.
Are you 6'3"???!
"It's about my size"? C'mon JonnyTech, ride the blinking thing!!!!!
“About my size” hinting at getting one?
What about the comments then?
Why wouldn't the bike have a Dura-ace rear cassette 11-30. It's 100g lighter and the whole bike is a fair bit heavier than 6.8kg
Cost, DD buys their components and ultegra lasts allot longer than dura- ace. It also costs allot less.
All that beauty and then too-long valve stem extenders that put the anti-click wrapping past where it does any good, so they need electrical tape. Plus, it unbalances the wheel. Hack or bodge? Bodge! ;)
That colour is a standard colour for
"if you're around steve's height you know what size to get"
...no
Thumbs up if you clicked the bike before the bus tour
Jeez I though porn wasn't allowed on youtube. You caught me off guard with this vid, now I want one !
Wheel doesn't look speed balanced. I wonder how many pros do that.
Ha ha ha ha you fingered his bike up real good
Most "normal" 6ft 3in riders would never choose a 56cm as their frame size! Ditto a 145mm stem! Pro's look like they had a bike fit in the dark!

Forgot the super odd 38 mm bars. Fuck it.

not my cup of tea
